Apple Day

‘Ifhis annual Scout event was held this year on November 2nd. 2i groups 0d‘ P. E. Island Scouts sold 62 barrels of apples and due to excellent management the returns were very favourable. Last year 70 barrels were sold.

Scout Activities

Dining the year the scouts acted as runners during the Dominion Election between the polling booths and the telephone main office, this enabled the people to procure the earliest possible reports of the Elec-

tion .

The Scouts in Charlottetown as-

sisted in distributing Christmas Seal

Posters for the Tuberculosis Lea-

gue

The Scouts also made 8 trench mortars. camoflauged, for the pur- pose oi’ collection tinfoil. A consid- erable quantity of this tinfoil has been gathered.

A great number of Scouts took part in the Memorial services on January 19th at the different churches in memory of Lord Baden- Powell. -

This report does not cover every Scout undertaking but I have ll.ted the most important of them.

May I be allowed to express the thanks or the Organization for the fine assistance we have received from the press and radio. also to the Tourist. Association for their office, the management of the Charlotte- town Hotel and City Council, also Mr. Alfred Pickard for allowing us part of his office during the time we were arranging for Apple Day and all perons who assisted us in making this movement outstand-

Bcout Movement

In closing I wish to quote from a Gentleman of this Province who spoke as follows regarding the Scout Movement.

"In paying tribute to the Boy Scout Movement, I venture to re- commend it as one o! the most psychologically sound, if not the most psychologically sound system of education of our modern world. Th1‘. is not a mere opinion oi mine gleaned from heresay, but a firm conviction based on a very careful analytical examination at least as careful as I could make of the educational principles oi’ the Boy Scout Movement. Its adaptability to adolescent nature, its correct teach- ing method, its agencies for voca- tional guidance, its demand for a real knowledge of the real bo as a primary qualification of its ach- ers, its imumerable agencies for the development of adolescent in- itiative and ersonai responsibility. it many o er distinctive and sterling atributes, and its 32 years of outstanding success, where its principles and methods have been wisely employed. recommend it as a modern masterkey to the greater development of human resources. and a worthy model, indeed. tor many or for all o! our schools and colleges. In support of_ my convic- tion and of my darlngly superla- tive and perhaps superlatively dar- ing eulogy on the Boy Scout Move- ment, may I quote just one of the crest admirers of Scouting p yaho- logy. the distinguished Dean James E. Russel. Professor of Education of Teachers‘ College, Columbia Uni- versity: I quote: “As a teacher. I titke my hat off to Lord Baden- Powell, the genius who in a bare decade has done mom to vitaliae the methods of character training than all the school-men in this country have done zince the pilgrims land- ed cm the New Emgland coast." Elnd of quotation.

Bwtrtlna. I contend, has many most valuable suggestions with re-

to curricula and pedagogical methods, all calculated to the fuller development of human resources to offer not only to the "Little red School house." but to the colossal grey-stone University, and to all other Intitutions consecrated to the "mini of men and women oi character.
